THN Yearbook has all CDN teams missing playoffs this season, except Habs.  Hard to argue with that.

And the Habs aren't a lock either.

Yup. Still kind of crazy that 6 of the 7 finished in the bottom-10 last season.

Sorry the Loafs will surprise if Bernier and Kessel stay healthy. They finally have some folks whom can forge a good chemistry, also helps with Molten and the Freezer are gone.

won't the edmonton dream team finally make a playoffs one of these seasons.  They sure have enough high draft picks.

According to @yyzsportsmedia, Paul Romanuk and Greg Millen will be doing the Leafs non-Saturday games on SN. Expect Gord Miller on TSN.

Must say I like that.  Not a Millen fan, but will be great to hear Paul Romanuk again on a consistent basis.

So SN uses Joe Bowen last year for the regional games but doesn't use him this year? That's stupid - unless they want to get away from the homerism (that I don't think is as bad as most).

Millen just makes me gag. Not a fan of Romanuk based on his Spengler Cup work but it's not like I have to listen to a Mark Lee or someone as bad as that.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Keeping Millen and canning Bowen is a travesty.

 

[Kin]

I think Romanuk is pretty good so I don't mind the change. I'll add to the chorus that doesn't get Millen being kept around though.

Sportsnet announces hiring of Glenn Healy, Kelly Hrudey, Craig Simpson, Mike Johnson, Darren Pang, Cassie Campbell-Pascall and Leah Hextall.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I'd just absolutely love to see some sort of assessment or report card Sportsnet made of Healy. It really seems like nobody, and I mean nobody, likes the guy.

Nice to see Johnson and Pang get picked up. They did good work at TSN.

 

[Kin]

I wouldn't mind seeing Johnson become the everyday colour guy for the team. Good enough at it, actually provides some local flavour. Could do worse.

A run-down of everybody involved with Sportsnet now:

Just noticed Kevin Weekes and Andi Petrillo aren't on that list. That's really too bad. Picking P.J. Stock over Weekes is insane.

Only one woman on the entire team.

Three, but yeah certainly not a diverse bunch there.

I missed Simpson and Hextall.

Stuck with Healy, stuck with Millen...  Stupid Sportsnet...

I'm surprised that Tessa Bonhomme wasn't brought in.

 

[seahawk]

Unless I'm missing something, there's 2. Cassie at rinkside and Leah Hextall in studio. Either way Andi Petrillo should have been brought in.

Christine Simpson rinkside as well.
